Keshav Bajpai

Profile description

You have been named in an FIR and the police have already begun a criminal investigation that could jeopardize your liberty. You believe the FIR is false or improperly filed and you want the case dismissed before it proceeds any further. Keshav Bajpai is a lawyer who specializes in quashing FIRs, criminal proceedings, and cognizance orders before the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Keshav earned a first‑class law degree from a leading university and completed a master’s program in criminal law. Over the past twelve years, he has focused his practice on protecting individuals from unfounded criminal actions. He has appeared before the Punjab and Haryana High Court in dozens of matters involving the annulment of FIRs, the dismissal of criminal proceedings, and the quashing of cognizance orders. His deep familiarity with the High Court’s jurisprudence on the limits of police power and procedural safeguards enables him to identify the precise legal weaknesses in a prosecution’s case.

When a client approaches Keshav with an FIR that appears to be baseless, he begins by obtaining a complete copy of the complaint and any accompanying police report. He then scrutinizes the document for violations such as lack of jurisdiction, absence of prima facie evidence, or procedural lapses in the registration of the FIR. If he finds sufficient grounds, he files a petition seeking quashment of the FIR or the cognizance order, citing relevant statutes and Supreme Court precedents that protect citizens from harassment through frivolous criminal complaints.

Keshav’s track record includes several landmark achievements. In a high‑profile assault case, he successfully convinced the High Court to dismiss the FIR on the basis that the police had failed to record essential witness statements, thereby preventing an unjust trial. In another instance involving a financial fraud allegation, his petition led to the quashing of the entire criminal proceeding because the complaint lacked any material evidence and violated the principles of natural justice.

His approach combines thorough legal research with strategic advocacy. He collaborates with senior counsel, forensic experts, and private investigators to gather supporting evidence that undermines the prosecution’s narrative. In courtroom appearances, Keshav presents concise arguments, directly addressing the bench’s concerns while highlighting the procedural infirmities that warrant dismissal. He is known for his ability to anticipate judicial queries and adapt his submissions accordingly.

Clients appreciate his transparency and proactive communication. He explains the procedural steps involved in filing a quashment petition, outlines realistic timelines, and provides an honest assessment of the strength of their case. He also ensures that all client information is handled with the utmost confidentiality.

If you are facing an FIR, ongoing criminal proceedings, or a cognizance order that you believe is unjust, Keshav Bajpai can evaluate the merits of your case, formulate a targeted strategy, and represent you before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. His experience, successful track record, and client‑focused approach make him a reliable ally in the fight to protect your rights.
